Vertical Reality

Once upon a time, there was a young seeker named David, drawn to explore the quiet mysteries hidden beneath the everyday hum of life. As he wandered through the landscapes of spiritual paths and teachings, he realized something profound: all the world's teachings, all the words on enlightenment, pointed toward one central truth — a truth he would come to know as *Vertical Reality.*

Vertical Reality is not just an idea or philosophy; it's a journey. It is a map to freedom, carved from years of experience, thousands of students, and countless personal battles with the specter of the super-ego. Yes, that hidden force within each of us, often masquerading as our own identity, shaping our fears and desires, urging us to hold tightly to illusions. I call mine Larry. Each of us has one — a "Larry" or "Linda" or "Leo" — a name that breathes life into the shadow, that super-ego voice that echoes our doubts, binds us to limitations, and keeps us tethered to a world of illusion.

But what if, David asked, this illusion wasn’t the whole story? What if we had the keys to a different reality, a vertical one that reached beyond the familiar, where each moment sparkles with the light of our true selves?

Vertical Reality was born from this question. It is a step-by-step path that doesn’t merely expose the tricks of the super-ego but offers tools to unravel its grip, to let go of the illusions layer by layer. Larry and I have danced this dance for years. He is persistent, to be sure, but through patience and practice, I’ve learned to watch him without becoming him. Vertical Reality doesn’t ask us to deny the super-ego but to understand it, to transform it, and finally, to step into the vertical moment — that sliver of time where enlightenment, your true Being, waits.

Imagine that: a moment where all that you’re *not* falls away. You stand in pure presence, untouched by illusion, feeling a profound inner peace that the world cannot shake. This isn’t a fleeting meditation or a concept to ponder; it is a passageway home, a return to the self you always were. Here, there is no "Larry." There is only You.

If your journey has brought you to these words, then perhaps you too are ready to step into your Vertical Reality. This is not another workshop or lecture series; it is the map to your own soul, waiting for the courage to step forward, to meet the world as your true self. In this age of awakening, the world awaits those brave enough to live beyond illusion, to become who they were born to be. And if you’re reading this, then maybe, just maybe, your time has come.
